How long springs actually last in Humble
Humble's 7-cycle winters barely touch spring steel, so rated life is the norm here. The check that matters is the balance test — opener released, door lifted to waist height. If it drifts, the counterbalance is off and everything downstream wears faster.
Since half the homes in Humble were standing by 1983, plenty of original springs are still in service; a two-minute balance test in autumn beats meeting one of them the morning it lets go.

This page runs on Humble's numbers (7 freeze–thaw cycles, 1983 median build, 85 ft of elevation) — close to the neighbours', never identical, which is exactly the point of measuring per city.
